Helene
G. Brenner, Ph. D., Laurence Letich. I Know I'm in There Somewhere: A
Woman's Guide
to Finding Her Inner Voice and Living
a Life of Authenticity
Publishers
Weekly: Brenner, a psychologist who runs workshops for women, focuses
on the significant problem: women often are taught to behave
as "people
pleasers" and keep their emotions hidden rather than express their true
feelings. Instead of advocating that women change themselves, Brenner
wants women to be aware of their concerns. "I call this a
‘self-acceptance' book, rather than a
‘self-improvement'
book, because I truly believe that you don't have to change or fix or
improve yourself in order to be happy," she writes in her introduction,
continuing, "I believe that living a fulfilled life comes from learning
how to listen to your inner voice, to the truth of your inner being in
all of the ways that it speaks to you, and to live from it."
Jack
Canfield, with
Janet Switzer. The Success Principles
When
it comes to success, Canfield knows of what he speaks: he is
co-creator, with Mark Victor Hansen, of the seemingly endless Chicken
Soup for the Soul series. He presents 64 success principles that he
claims "always work" -- and draws on his own experience and that of
others to illustrate them... each receives a concise, easy-to-digest
chapter that challenges readers to risk creating their lives exactly as
they want them. Many of the principles are familiar.. but Canfield has
a nifty way of summarizing them ("Reject rejection"), and some are
inventive: "Become an Inverse Paranoid" means see the world as out to
help you instead of out to get you. He also offers specific
techniques... [Publishers Weekly]
Kenneth W. Christian, PhD Your
Own Worst Enemy: Breaking the Habit of Adult Underachievement
We can be particularly
resistant to change when it threatens to alter what we believe about
ourselves. ..
the idea of who you are resides at the center of your sense of reality.
It is part of the glue that holds your reality together. You believe
that if you know anything, you know yourself. And you feel you know the
way you behave and what is possible for you. ... The
problem is not, has never been, and never will be, who you are. The
problem is always what you choose to do. Certain actions you have taken
habitually have short-circuited your success. Change begins with
noticing your ability to choose new actions and then acting.

quotes from newsletter of Life On Purpose www.lifeonpurpose.com]
"Letting go of your emotions doesn't mean to avoid feeling them or
suppressing them. Suppressing your emotions can be harmful to your
health, resulting in a myriad of physical ailments including heart
disease, strokes and ulcers. Instead of suppressing your emotions,
become unattached to them. How? One of the most effective ways I've
found to become unattached to an upset is to actually 'cause' it.
Having something happen that results in your automatically being upset
is different from recognizing the upset and causing it in a responsible
manner."

Stephanie Frank. The
Accidental Millionaire
Reviewer: Kristie Tamsevicius - Forget all those boring how
to books, Stephanie mesmerizes her readers with the story of how she
left an abusive marriage, overcame ADHD, and became a millionaire all
while in her twenties. There are great lessons to be learned here and
it's an absolute joy to read! And I love the action steps in the back
of each section.
Reviewer: Jenn Kaye - In this
book, Stephanie Frank shows how to overcome the obstacles we create for
ourselves and provides clear direction on how to move forward step by
step. Her down-to-earth style and simple systems made it easy to begin
implementing her suggestions for personal and entrepreneurial success
immediately! The action steps and additional bonuses at the end of each
chapter have been worth ten times the price of the book itself. If you
are tired of having to read between the lines and are still wondering
how to take action in your business or in your life, you MUST read this
book!
Charles
Garfield. Peak Performers: The New Heroes of American
Business
reviewer:
Jake (Hamton VA) - The book that outlines six aspects of peak
performance: 1. A mission that motivates you 2. Real results in real
time 3. Self management through self-mastery 4. Be a team builder and
member 5. Course Correction and last, 6. Change management. He defines
each one well and provides techniques such as visualization which aid
in achieving each dimension of being a peak performer. The writing is
very straightforward and logical, and avoids the hyperbole and
slickness of many other self-improvement books, that are long on
rah-rah advice but short on actual how-to steps for each critical
dimension.

identifying those talents and then using them. So, what makes a person
successful? Hutcheson and McDonald have posed this question to
thousands of people throughout their careers. Everyone's
story is different. But one thing is the same: successful people do
what they do best every day. They are guided by a clear personal vision
- an accurate and precise picture of the work that expresses them best.

“You’re so smart. If only you’d apply yourself”
It is the beliefs you have about success that creates an incredible -
very real, very evident - fear of success. This kind of fear is the
most powerful form of bondage. This fear-bondage - rooted by negative
beliefs about success and failure - is the one thing that will cause
you to sabotage your success and never achieve what you really want. No
amount of money or time spent on goal-setting classes or
positive-thinking techniques will help you create success until you
break through the negative beliefs that your fear represents. The good
news is that you have control over your beliefs. You can change your
belief system, which will help you conquer your fear forever.

dasn0wman "dasn0wman" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - This book is about
101 successful businesses and how they got started. Although it does
not contain details on how to start a business, it contains lots of
good ideas and lots of inspiration, two important qualities of a
entrepeneur. You will enjoy reading some better known businesses like

"The authors explain that the pablum so often found in self-help books
and spouted by motivational speakers that appeals to your rational
brain just doesn't work when trying to change a well ingrained bad
habit. One must enlist the aid of the more primitive parts of the
brain, and they show you how to do this."

Kaizen
is a Japanese term that literally means "good change." Pronounced
kigh-zen, it refers to an ancient Zen philosophy that prescribes
"constant, small, gradual improvement," rather than its thematic
opposite--innovation--which connotes big, bold, sudden, seismic change.
... It's a powerful tool in creativity and personal change.

Saywell How
Far Will You Go?
: Questions to Test Your Limits [excerpt:] "Our so-called
everyday lives are still full of remarkable experiences, challenges,
and amazing or even courageous accomplishments, large and small. We
wanted to write a book of questions to find out about them, to discover
the edges of our lives, to ask about the outer and inner limits that we
have already experienced, or have yet to find. What is the one thing
you'd most like to change about the world? What do you want most right
now? What are you most grateful for? What was the warmest welcome you
ever received? What was the best thing about your youth? What was the
worst?
Paul McKenna. Change Your Life in Seven Days : The World's
Leading Hypnotist Shows You How
reader
review by Hallstatt Prince (Weymouth, MA. USA) - I am always a bit
leery of self-help books especially ones that make wild claims. However
this is not your typical self help book. Although many of the
techniques elucidated in this book have long been known the
presentation of how to employ these techniques is quite good. It is a
book that I believe anyone can follow and use. ... Speaking from my own
scientific background as a psychology major who did his graduate work
in neuroscience (Princeton) and animal behavior (Max Planck Institute
in Germany) I see nothing in this book that runs contrary to what
science knows about how the mind works. This is not a "new age fad" and
the author explains this by giving a brief history of hypnosis in both
its use and misuse.... McKenna's techniques are sound and should help
the reader get out of negative behavioral loops into which we all often
fall.
Julie
K. Norem, PhD. The
Positive Power of Negative Thinking: Using Defensive Pessimism to Harness
Anxiety and Perform at Your Peak
Defensive
pessimism is a strategy used by anxious people to help them manage
their anxiety so they can work productively. Defensive pessimists lower
their expectations to help prepare themselves for the worst. Then, they
mentally play through all the bad things that might happen. Though
it sounds as if it might be depressing, defensive pessimism actually
helps anxious people focus away from their emotions so that they can
plan and act effectively.

William B. Swann. Self-Traps
: The Elusive Quest for Higher Self-Esteem
[reader:]
"Swan is a professor at University of Texas in Austin. His book deals
(in better detail then I've seen anywhere)with how we fail to gain
self-esteem in the first place and how hard it is to learn it later. He
doesn't offer a three point program for caring about yourself. In fact,
his findings seem to say that people without self-esteem have had a
hard life. He feels they develop a comfort zone that doesn't include
good things or good people. He says this because that is what his
research shows and research isn't a word that many self-help books ever
use."

success and how you can easily adapt it to fit your life as
well–all in 5 easy steps. I can personally attest to this process
and its effectiveness.”
